mobiFlip – News & Testberichte aus der TechnikweltVodafone kooperiert mit Glasfaser Nordwest – bis zu 1,5 Millionen Haushalte erhalten Gigabit-Internet
LibreQoSIn 2025, we launched the original #LibreQoS #Bufferbloat #Speedtest to give users and #ISPs a clearer way to measure #latency under load, not just raw #bandwidth.
Now, we are releasing Bufferbloat Test v2.0: https://libreqos.io/2026/03/23/libreqos-bufferbloat-test-v2/
We are dedicating this release to @mtaht

Luricaun the SmolSo I ordered fiber internet at my new location. No idea when it's going to be installed. The fiber is already laid in the street (November 2025) but the house or the appartment I live in hasn't been connected yet.
Follow me if you wanna know how long it takes to get a fiber internet at home (FTTH) in Germany and one of the most densely populated areas in Germany.

GSM and 5G data
We often take for granted the access we have to data & VOIP networks, esp. when we have 'unlimited access'
Unlimited data access is a farce
- My ISP still delivers ancient xDSL connections maxed a 10MBit/s (1MBit = 1024kBit!)
- The connection is capped at speed meaning 30days per bandwidth pool
- * 10MBit/s = 36000Mbit/hr
- * 36000Mbit/hr = 36864000 MBit/day (x24)
- * 36864000MBit/day = 1105920000 MBit/month (x 30 days)
- * 1105920000MBit /1024 = 1080000 MByte/month
- * 1080000MByte /1024 = 1054.6875 GByte/month
- * 1054.6875 /1024 = 1.02996826172 TByte theoretical bandwidth.
You get only 1.0299 TByte/month at max!
Subtract from that number 10% for protocol overhead ping delays retries and what not.
- * 1.0299 TByte - 0.10299TByte = 0.9269TByte
- * 0.9269 TByte = 949.1456 GByte max in practice
The practical cap is at 949.15GB per month
Similar calculations can be made for unlimited post paid POTS phone connections
- The cap is at time. No one talks 24hrs and can pay the phone bill, so the cap is also economical
- No unlimited services exist. All are capped by time*
- Subscriptions can be a way out to good deals
- One of my GSM providers gives 100 minute prepaid subsciptions for 6 months a year and two years
- The difference is startling in comparision with the regular price
- 100min = 4.5 USD per month subscribed prepaid 6 months
- 100min = 25 USD month prepaid!
Don't take your connections for granted.
- Many people (me included) drop permanent services due to economical & technical reasons
- * I dropped my xDSL connection because I need fibre connections to work. My ISP has the fibre optic cables & FAT terminals (fibre acces terminals) in the first part of the street.
- * * My ISP even made the power company change the poles in the whole street
- * * The EBS changed the poles in 40% of the project time, a record for them.
- * * My ISP betrayed us by still giving us FTTC instead of FTTH as promised in the whole street.
- * * My ISP has massive corruption problems, since they abused the grand for FTTH to give us obsolete FTTC equipment with xDSL
- * * Only areas without POTS cables got FTTH first, the rest was shoved on obsolete ancient FTTC equipment you cant buy new anymore globally
- * * The ISP makes double money since they cant charge more for FTTC minimal, but have to give 50MBit/s minimal because there are no lower caps allowed in the contract grand
- * * The FTTH connection als0 gets your POTS phone connected to it
- * * when a pole is ripped off due to a car hitting it, you are SOL without a seperate GSM / smart phone, because your POTS phone is now on a SPF (single point of failure).
- * On xDSL the lines are buried so POTS lines are safer
- I also dropped the xDSL service because the ammount of data I can download is pitiful on xDSL
- I can use the cash literally for food since they charge a massive USD 20/month for the ancient connection

Already there's a shitton of evasive maneuvers in low earth orbit and millions of objects measung 8.000t weight in total are being tracked.
- And the frequency of said maneuvers isn't going down as #billionaires keep polluting it with absurdly huge megaconstellations that only achieve sabotaging the ROI calculations for rural #FTTB / #FTTH rollouts…
- Plus actively causing #KesslerSyndrome is kinda making one an international Pariah, just beaten by NBC warfare and -terrorism.
Anyone else remember #Iridium 33 and #Cosmos2251 crashing into each other at 11,7 km/s at an almost 90° angle?

Mein Tröt Nr. 1.000
Seit dem 30.10.2022 alle 29,7 Stunden ein Tröt (0,000009 Hz). In der Zeit hat die ISS die Erde 19.400 Mal umrundet.
Beeindruckend, was man in 3,5 Jahren erreicht. Die Menschheit umkreist 19.400 Mal den Planeten, nur die Deutsche Glasfaser arbeitet an der Entschleunigung: Während die ISS mit Mach 25 rast, bewegt sich mein Support-Ticket mit der Geschwindigkeit einer Kontinentaldrift. Dank meinem LTE-Failover kam es dann doch nicht zum Schlimmsten. #Jubiläum #ftth-sla-träume

Ist es üblich, dass Deutsche Glasfaser sporadisch nachts die Verbindung kappt? Wartungsarbeiten?
Von anderen Providern war ich es gewohnt, über solche Maßnahmen vorab informiert zu werden. Von DG habe ich bisher keine Vorankündigungen erhalten.
Ich bin froh, dass ich mich für ein LTE-Failover entschieden habe. Auch wenn es zusätzliche Kosten waren, so gibt es mir dann doch Sicherheit, meinen Job trotz etlicher Ausfälle im Jahr machen zu können.
